Rusty’s insight into thought leadership and Authority Marketing was such a great addition to our symposium. His energy kept attendees captivated and his tips provided practical takeaways for marketing practitioners. Attendees have immediately put his ideas into practice and been rewarded with demonstrable results. He would be a tremendous value add to any speaking lineup!”

Rusty’s presentation on Authority Marketing was relevant and timely for our group of entrepreneurs.  In a post-Covid world, being unique and standing out from the crowd is harder than ever.  Thanks Rusty, for teaching us how to have our own bit of unique real estate on the Internet, and how to build a captive audience of potential customers for our businesses!

In the old days, the only viable ways to generate attention for you or your business was to buy it (advertising) or beg for it (traditional public relations). Today, this is how most organizations still attempt to get noticed. Barbara and Rusty show you a better way – understanding the world of micromedia where everyone is a publisher.”
